Snowflake Vs MS-SQL - Part 120 - Aggregate functions - MIN_BY and MAX_BY


Aggregate functions - MIN_BY and MAX_BY

Suppose you want to find the row containing the minimum value for a column and return the value of another column in that row.

Available Data:



Expected Output:


MS-SQL Server

You can achieve this by using built-in WINDOWS functions as below:



In Snowflake, we can use a similar approach as above; however, we can use MIN_BY as follows:




For more details, refer to the MIN_BY section.

Snowflake Key Concepts

Image
  Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehouse that offers scalable and secure storage and processing of structured and semi-structured data. Snowflake uses a shared-nothing architecture for parallel processing and offers native support for SQL as well as other programming languages such as Python, R, and Java   Snowflake’s unique architecture consists of three key layers: -           Database Storage -           Query Processing -           Cloud Services In Snowflake, they have done the decoupling of storage and compute.   Virtual Warehouse: -           A compute resource in Snowflake that processes queries and performs data loading and unloading. -           It can be independently scaled up or down based on demand. -   ...
